There’s some thriller book around the collapse of the US power grid that had a Zuck in it, he pre-replaced all his teeth with ceramic (I think?) so he’d never need a dentist. Had a bunker built off-book twice underground with food, supplies, security.
I assume this Zuck is that Zuck (6 months from now, with our current timeline speed.)
That Zuck died pretty quick, hilariously. Terrible people never win in the end, and they’re always alone.
It’s not because a fiction book on the human condition is right, it’s because when it comes right down to it, survival of the fittest kicks in, and no being in the universe would pick a piece of garbage as the winning choice.
The mistake these oligarchs always make, is that they think the “alpha male” in a pack chose his role because he was greedy and powerful. In reality, the alpha male was chosen by the pack, because he was the best chance of the pack’s survival.
These people need the libertarian myth of the alpha male/ubermensch because otherwise, they’d have to face the fact the their success is really from inheritance and luck. Hard work and intelligence doesn’t take you very far when, statistically, your boss is a sociopath.
